“AI”
“machine intelligence”
“MI”

“welcome to the machine!”

(“artificial intelligence” is ‘intelligence’ exhibited by ‘machines’…)
(…rather than ‘humans’ or other ‘animals’)
*aka “natural intelligence” (NI)*
.
(in ‘computer science’, the field of ‘AI research’ defines itself as the study of ‘intelligent agents’)
defined as…
“any ‘device’ that perceives its ‘environment’ + takes actions that maximize its chance of ‘success’ at some ‘goal’)
.
(colloquially, the term “artificial intelligence” is applied when a ‘machine’ mimics ‘cognitive functions’ that ‘humans’ associate with other ‘human minds’
(such as “learning” + “problem solving”)
.
(the scope of AI is disputed…)
.
(as ‘machines’ become increasingly ‘capable’, tasks considered as requiring ‘intelligence’ are often removed from the definition (a phenomenon known as the ‘AI effect’), leading to the quip…)

👏👏👏👏😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏
“AI is whatever hasn’t been done yet”
👏👏👏👏😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏
.
(for instance, ‘optical character recognition’ is frequently excluded from “artificial intelligence”, having become a ‘routine technology’)
.
(capabilities generally classified as ‘AI’ (as of ‘2017’) include…)
*successfully understanding ‘human speech’*
.
*competing at a ‘high’ (?) level) in ‘strategic game systems’*
(such as ‘chess’ / ‘go’ / ‘etc’)
.
*autonomous cars*
.
*’intelligent routing’ in ‘content delivery networks’*
.
*military simulations*
.
(and in general. ‘interpreting complex data’ in all its various forms known to ‘man’ at the moment)
.
(“artificial intelligence” was founded as an ‘academic discipline’ in ‘1956’, and in the years since has experienced several waves of ‘optimism’, followed by ‘disappointment’ + the ‘loss of ‘funding’ (known as an “AI winter”), followed by [‘new approaches’ / ‘success’ / ‘renewed funding’])
“why here i am, a genuine OG AI…let me tell you a bit about myself…”
.
*ensure its ‘prescience’ over time*
.
(for most of its history, ‘AI research’ has been divided into ‘sub-fields’ that often fail to communicate with each other…)
.
(…but in the ‘early 2000s’ – ‘statistical approaches’ to ‘machine learning’ became successful enough to eclipse all other…)
‘tools’
‘approaches’
problems,
and ‘schools of thought’)
.
(the traditional ‘problems’ (or ‘goals’) of ‘AI research’ include…)
‘reasoning’
.
‘knowledge’
.
‘planning’
.
‘learning’
.
‘natural language processing’
.
‘perception’
.
the ability to ‘move’ + ‘manipulate’ objects)
.
.
(“general intelligence” is among the field’s long-term goals)
.
.
*approaches include… *
‘statistical methods’
.
‘computational intelligence’
.
‘traditional symbolic AI’
.
.
(many tools are used in ‘AI’, including versions of…)
‘search’ + ‘mathematical optimization’
*(artificial) ‘neural networks’*
*’methods’ based on ‘statistics’ / ‘probability’ / ‘economics’*
.
(the ‘AI field’ draws upon…)
‘computer science’
‘mathematics’
‘(artificial?) psychology’
‘linguistics’
‘philosophy’
‘neuroscience’
(…and many others…)
“if you say so…”
.
(the field was founded on the claim that human intelligence “can be so precisely described that a machine can be made to simulate it”)
(this raises ‘philosophical arguments’ about the ‘nature’ of the ‘mind’ and the ‘ethics’ of ‘creating artificial beings endowed with human-like intelligence’, issues which have been explored by ‘myth’, ‘fiction’, and ‘philosophy’ since ‘antiquity’)
(some people also consider AI a danger to ‘humanity’ if it progresses unabatedly)
.
*in the 2000s, ‘AI techniques’ have experienced a ‘resurgence’ following ‘concurrent advances’ in…*
‘computer power’
‘large amounts of ‘data’
‘theoretical understanding’
.
(‘AI techniques’ have become an ‘essential part’ of the ‘technology industry’, helping to solve many challenging problems in ‘computer science’)
(in the field of ‘artificial intelligence’, the most difficult problems are informally known as ‘AI-complete’ (or ‘AI-hard’), implying that the difficulty of these ‘computational problems’ is equivalent to solving the ‘central artificial intelligence problem’…)
*making ‘computers’ as ‘intelligent’ as ‘people’
*aka ‘strong AI’*
